Product Description
Review
"The fact that we still face basically the same problems in the areas of software architecture, reuse, and development with modern approaches (such as reliability and performance, as well as the software development process in service–oriented architectures) makes this book continue to be highly relevant. This, and the sheer pleasure of reading it, makes the book a remarkable and extraordinary contribution to an otherwise buzzword–driven book market." (Computing Reviews, March 25, 2008)
Product Description

The Real Thing
12 Mar 2008
Format:Hardcover
I have been a member of the IEEE since 1971 and have developed/tested software since 1969, so I have read dozens of Barry Boehm's articles in the various journals. This were, without exception, all of value, and many quite eye opening, as our professional struggled to advance both the technology and the discipline of software development.
By the mid-80s, Barry's name was so well known to me from my reading that I would immediately read anything with his name attached. In about 1985 I attended a reception held by TRW in a large new building to the south of their main campus in Redondo Beach - invited by someone who told me that Barry "BEEEM" - the manager of some kind of software project - was interested in talking with me. I'd never seen Barry at a IEEE function nor heard his name stated verbally. But I attended the function - a typical function the excessive style of the mid-80s, expensive foods, etc. Then I was led to a small conference room and met "BEEEM." We had an interesting chat but nothing extraordinary. When I left, one of his aides gave me his card... it was then I realized who I had been talking with!
We could have discussed in detail and overview, any number of his papers, but I didn't know what his name sounded like or what he looked like.
This collection has to be termed definitive and certainly comprises a wonderful record of the development and advances of the software engineering community.

One of the best Software Engineering books
17 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
Berry Boehm is one of my favorite professors at USC and it is good to have most of his papers in one easy to read book. Every software engineer should read it.

Software engineering classic
21 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
Dr. Barry Boehm has provided a great deal to the software engineering community. From estimation to economics and many additional topics, his works need understanding by every software engineer. When I read other literature on software engineering, I seem to typically find references to Dr. Boehm. He has influenced many in this field.
